The autumn chill is in the air, the crunch of the burnt orange leaves is beneath your feet, and the decorative gourds, well, they're everywhere. It all points to one thing... Halloween is coming! With All Hallow's Eve quickly approaching on October 31, we here at the Museum know that choosing the perfect Jack-O-Lantern pattern can add some unneeded stress in the lead-up. We've made it easy for you so that you can focus on planning the perfect trick-or-treating route. Here are eight pumpkin carving stencils to make your Halloween truly Revolutionary.
